			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://queenofsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Football-Logo-2-e1274228872651.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2393" title="Football-Logo-2" src="http://queenofsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Football-Logo-2-e1274228872651.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="100" /></a>He&#8217;s arguably the most popular player from the 2010 NFL Draft class and he will be giving fans even more insight to his life now. Yesterday, <a href="http://queenofsports.com/?s=Tim+Tebow">Tim Tebow</a> launched several social media platforms including his official website, TimTebow.com along with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Tim-tebow/145741898783562?ref=ts">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/TimTebow">Twitter</a> profiles.</p>
<p>In related news, Tim&#8217;s brother Robby and longtime friend Angel Gonzalez have formed <a href="http://www.xventerprises.com/">XV Enterprises</a>, a sports marketing and management agency with Tim as their first and only client.</p>
<p>&#8220;We interviewed the top 15 marketing agencies in the world and went through their dog and pony show,&#8221; said Robby, Tim&#8217;s older brother. &#8220;They were big and smooth and wore three-piece suits and some of them are very good at what they do. But one thing we realized is that they were talking about the things for Timmy that we were already thinking about. And when it came to negotiating we could do the job as good as they could and we weren&#8217;t necessarily worrying about that 20 percent cut.&#8221;</p>
<p>We know another superstar athlete who has gone this route, <a href="http://queenofsports.com/?s=LeBron+James">LeBron James</a>. In 2005, LeBron left power agent Aaron Goodwin and joined a group formed by his friends, LRMR Marketing. That group has yet to make any major deals for LeBron or any other athlete.</p>
<p>Tim has already locked in endorsement deals with some of the top athletic brands including Nike, Electronic Arts (EA) and Jockey. His Denver Broncos jersey was the best selling NFL jersey over the summer.</p>
<p>So how do you think this career move will affect Tim, good more or bad?</p>

<div>Sacramento County Sheriff&#8217;s spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran said deputies responded to an incomplete 911 call from the 8100 block of Sunset Avenue at about 4:15 p.m., where they encountered Matt and a woman &#8220;who lived with him and with whom he had a dating relationship.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>Both parties had visible injuries but Matt was determined to be the primary aggressor, Curran said.</p>
<p>Matt is also being charged with maliciously  obstructing the use of a telephone line. He posted a  $50,000 bond and was released shortly before 9:40 p.m. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.</p></div>
<div></div>
<div>Our guess is that the woman involved is his on-again, off-again fiance Gloria Govan. The couple have twin boys. Gloria and Matt both appeared on the first season of the VH1 reality show, Basketball Wives. Rumors swirled last month that the couple had called off their wedding.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Matt posted on his Twitter account late this evening, &#8220;DON&#8217;T LET YOUR EARS WITNESS, WHAT YOUR EYES DIDN&#8217;T SEE!!!&#8221; He also sent a text message to a local Sacramento television reporter stating &#8220;U know any domestic violence situation 9 outa 10 times the man gets  arrested.  That&#8217;s the case here I was the victim but still got arrested.   No matter what I say people are gonna think what they want&#8230;&#8221;</div>

<p style="text-align: left;">Back in February of this year, before Queen of Sports was reporting, a story came out about the University of Mississippi choosing a new mascot. They are the Rebels but haven&#8217;t had an on-field mascot in years, so they requested voting for a new mascot and their wish was granted. But that was the only thing that went their way in the choosing of the new mascot. The school got together and came up with a hilariously nerdy yet somewhat clever idea for a mascot. Since they were the Rebels, someone had the genius idea to choose a character who is the leader of the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars. Admiral Ackbar is his name, and he looks scary so what better way to fend off enemies? The only problem with the whole idea is that Lucasfilm quashed the idea. Watch the commercial ESPN did of the story, above. It&#8217;s hilarious that the dance team and cheerleaders didn&#8217;t want anything to do with the &#8220;catfish-looking thing&#8221; but as one student said, the IQ of the school would go up as nerds floundered to attend the school with the Star Wars mascot.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Long live Admiral Ackbar!</p>
